Our standard training classes are designed to bring awareness to application features and functions as well as teach the effective use of the latest CADWorx & Analysis software as applied to plant design work. All our classes are the best of their kind, placing a very strong focus on plant design using well-developed real-world examples.

CADWorx PLANT Professional Training

General Description: The CADWorx Plant Professional classes are designed to teach the effective use and functionality of the latest CADWorx Plant software, applied to plant design work. The User will learn how to make the most of the program’s capabilities, such as quickly building and editing models in a 3D environment and generating 2D drawings and isometrics from them. The course also covers topics that, although not difficult in concept, can be time-consuming to learn on your own, such as specification management, program controls and settings. Although CADWorx Plant is easy to use, there are many methods, tricks and techniques that will improve your productivity and your ability to generate the drawings you need as efficiently as possible. This class is the best of its kind, placing a very strong focus on plant design using well-developed real-world examples.

Advanced CADWorx Plant Training

General Description: CADWorx Plant Professional contains many features that we use on a day to day basis. This advanced class will take these tools and enhance your CADWorx portfolio. ECE will start with the some advanced adminstrative tools functions including some licensing help. We will then move to some Specification Editor tools including Custom Data and the Assignment Tables. Pipe Supports (including the new pipe support modeler), Isogen and Drawing Management tools will round out the 3 day class. See the full agenda below.

We will review the basic setup of I-Configure and create some new styles using “out of the box” styles.

Creating the “no-touch” isometrics

Obviously there is no such thing as a “no-touch” Isometric, but we can do everything possible to eliminate extra cleanup and save time

Using the Enterprise Control Panel (ECP)

Drawing Manager setup

This is where it all starts. Setting up your border and standard drawing practices starts here. We will review this area to get this initial setup correct

Drawing Area Setup

Need to make your Isometrics look a certain way? This is the area that we will tweak to make those fittings and valves come out the way that you would like.

Dimension Setup

Isogen has many options when it comes to dimensioning your isometrics. We will go through this and show you how to configure your dimensions to make the drawings look as you would like.

Drawing Border Setup

Setting up “no-touch” isometrics requires filling in that Titleblock. Isogen has some features here that will help fill in these attributes. ECE also will show their internal software, ISOWorx, which will help in the population of attributes and processing of these isometrics.

Materials and Part Numbers

Bills of Materials and Part numbers are where the rubber meets the road. We will review this section and show you how to create and define the columns as you need them.

Welding

Do you need that weld map that is required? No problem a simple weld style will populate a weld map or add welds to your existing style. We will show you how.

Spool Setup

Need to add spool tags to your drawings? This area defines how to add the spool identification marks and configure what they display as.

Flat Spools – Want to see something cool…..Turn those fabrication spools flat to make that fabrication easier.

Cut Pieces

Configure that BOM to include cut pieces of pipe for your shop with field allowances if required.

Using the Drawing Setup Tool

The Drawing Setup Tool in I-Configure allows for easy changes as required. Use this graphical interface to move or add that BOM Column or adjust your drawing area. You can easily do that here and we will show you how.

Using the “Search” Option

Do you remember those old Project Manager Switch Numbers? The search tool allows you to search for the settings that you would like to change by typing the key word in or using that old switch number.

Adding custom “SKEYs” to change the look and feel of generated isometric symbols.

Importing a Project Manager Style

Backing up and transferring a Project or Style

CADWorx P&ID Professional Training

General Description:

CAESAR II Statics Training

General Description

ECE Design’s CAESAR II Statics class is a 3-day boot-camp that covers the gamut of static pipe stress analysis. The course is broken down into half-day sessions each covering a major topic in a thoughtful, well-structured approach that maximizes information density. By delivering substance with brevity, new and current users alike can learn effective approaches to system redesign.

Note from the author: This course has been designed to serve as a basis for applied engineering techniques and best practices currently in use by the CAESAR II community. The instructor uses a progressive form of teaching, starting with large overviews that refine to technical details, using analogies, diagrams, and examples to support each concept. During day 3 the instructor can work on student selected topics relevant to their industry and use cases for CAESAR II.

PV ELITE Training

PV Elite Training covers fundamental guidelines for pressure vessel design. The course will be focused on Section VIII Division I, and will cover local wind and seismic codes; however other codes and standards will be referenced. Best practices for pressure vessel design are based on industry provided experience, which will allow attendees to ground engineering principles to real world applications. This course is not lecture based. Content is applied to each core aspect of PV Elite to facilitate hands on learning. Attendees will learn not only how to use PV Elite effectively but also learn how to become better engineers.
